Chapter VI Preliminary Negotiations on Armaments
Liu Yun was also stunned, your sister, who can throw ants 150 meters away, forget it, anyway, if you are safe, it is impossible for a sniper to penetrate the tree, and then I thought about it in a blink of an eye, if the target of the sniper is the great writer Lu Xun, I will not be able to save myself if I see death like this, wouldn't it be difficult to have a good conscience.
"Fourth uncle, Uncle Pang, please come over for a moment", Liu Yun decided to ask Lao Jianghu.
Fortunately, Pang and Liu walked over without hesitation, and Liu Yun briefly said about the discovery of the sniper, Pang Xuezhong's face turned black at once, and he quickly returned to normal, and made a downward gesture outside the sight of the sniper.
A few seconds later, there was a muffled sound of "bang" on the roof more than ten meters away, the sound was very small, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you couldn't even hear it, Pang Yuyan and others were still very lively.
Liu Yun guessed that it was the sound of a sniper gun with a silencer, Shanghai is indeed a paradise for adventurers, the conversion between killing and being killed is often just a moment, after wiping a cold sweat, he hurriedly asked Zhi Brain if the target was dead, Zhi Brain replied that the target had fled with injuries, and the threat had been lifted.
Liu Yun was still not at ease, and asked Zhi Brain if there were any suspicious objects, he no longer wanted to be targeted by a rifle, and as expected, he found three more places through Zhi Brain scanning, but he was not equipped with a rifle, and the distribution direction was uneven, and the threat was not too great.
Whether to tell Pang Xuezhong about the remaining places, Liu Yun hesitated a little, once it can be said that he hit by mistake, if he said it a few times, he would be really a fool.
Before Liu Yun had time to say, there was another "bang", it seems that another one has been solved, even if the Liu family in Xikang is thousands of miles away, the Shanghai branch is not easy to mess with, and the Minggang secret post in Hongkou Park is not as simple as it seems, and there is at least one top sniper in secret.
Soon there was a sound of birds nearby, needless to say that this was a man-made signal, indicating that all kinds of hostile eyeliner had been cleared, and then Pang Xuezhong pulled Liu Yun with a smile and walked towards Lu Xun and Pang Yuyan, and naturally said, "Big brother, the children are a little hungry."
"Oh, look at my memory, if you don't pay attention, it's already past five o'clock, don't say I'm hungry too", Lu Xun was very doting and pulled Pang Yuyan, but he didn't forget Liu Yun, "You are from Sichuan, it's not easy to study in the United States, I haven't tasted hometown food for a long time."
The great writer actually knew that Liu Yun was a little flattered, well, he must send him a few books and write a few words, and in the 21st century, he will become rich overnight.
"Let's go, I remember that there is a very authentic Sichuan restaurant nearby, everyone come with me", Lu Xun is witty and refreshing, never informal, pulling Liu Yun and Pang Yuyan respectively, and walked towards the outside of Hongkou Park in a hurry.
That night, Liu Yun lived in the Liu Mansion, which covers an area of more than 300 square meters, is a typical second floor and a bottom, is the most fashionable French style in Shanghai, and the family is basically complete, except for a fifty or sixty-year-old porter Wang, he lives alone, it is really satisfying.
Liu Yun lay on the bed and scratched with his fingers for a long time, stunned and didn't understand how much it would cost to buy this mansion in the 21st century.
Well, listen to the meaning of Master Pang, brother, in the future, he will be regarded as a celebrity in Shanghai, Liu Yun thought a little proudly, it is better to cross, of course, the most satisfying thing is that the great writer gave him a book, the words "gift to the little friend Liu Yun" written by himself, and a stack of autographed manuscripts of the book.
The more Liu Yun thinks about it, the more he admires himself, and thinks that he looks like a progressive young man who pursues light, what "Scream", "Hesitation", "Diary of a Madman", at his fingertips, what Ah Q spirit, juvenile leap earth, morning flowers and sunset, swaying freely, well, you should award yourself an Oscar statuette.
Some insights of the new era, really coaxed the big writer to be blue-eyed, well, Pang Yuyan also helped my brother say a few good words, brother will not forget to drop, Liu Yun unconsciously, holding "Destruction" and its original manuscript, slept until noon the next day.
After Liu Yun woke up, he made something to eat in the kitchen, made a cup of tea, set up a small round table on the lawn in the mansion, leisurely flipped through the Shanghai Daily and the Central Daily, and sometimes took out a map of China from the study to find the place where the news event occurred.
There was a sudden sound of brakes outside the door, it turned out that Liu Yuangeng and Pang Xuezhong had arrived, Liu Yun hurriedly asked the porter Wang to help draw the chair, pour tea and water himself, and beckoned the two to sit.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Yun found that the two of them slept poorly last night, with obvious dark circles under their eyes, and their spirits were relatively tired.
"The marshal has called back", or Liu Yuangeng spoke first, and sent a telegram with eleven words on it, "I know, first-class matters, you will deal with yourself."
After all, Liu Yun is a liberal arts student in the 21st century, and these words have a profound meaning, "I know", what do you know, whether Mr. He buys food and medicine, or guns and ammunition, or sniper gunners, or Liu Yun's return to China.
"First-class" means that guns and ammunition are equivalent to food and medicine.
However, can guns and ammunition be sold like food and medicine, of course not, this is a high-risk and high-return event, so such a telegram is evidence that Liu Shuai can shirk when the East Window incident occurs one day, and say that this matter is the self-determination of his subordinates.
"You guys deal with themselves", Liu Yun glanced at Liu Pang and the others, this may be the uncomfortable place for the two, on the surface, Liu Shuai is confident in the two of them, fully trusts them, and lets them do it, but why don't you say 'Pang Liu is at his own disposal'.
Therefore, Liu Shuai also has two meanings, one is that he agrees in principle to dangerous trading, and the other means that in addition to Pang Liu, there are other people who should participate.
Liu Yun sighed in his heart, if he didn't want to mess with that person in the future, the best way today would be to show weakness and not make any statement, lest these two old immortals always think that they finally managed to get to this day, and they were caught up by a little doll in a blink of an eye.
In Liu Yun's opinion, Liu Pang and the others have some opinions, which is also human nature, but in the face of such a dangerous thing, if he doesn't make a move, with the urine of these two people, most of them will run away to the right, and finally end up with various excuses to shirk, but Boss He's side is miserable.
"Oh, the handsome man has something to say", Liu Yun looked surprised and inexplicable, and then suddenly realized, "Two uncles, I don't know who Mr. He was yesterday."
Liu Yuangeng was silent, but Master Pang had a little stretch, "We have had a few transactions with Boss Fang before, and this Mr. He is also the first time I have seen him, and he is a little uncertain, I don't know what do you thinkββγ β
"He is a person from Liu Fengdu, a famous general in Sichuan", Liu Yun said with great certainty, "Boss Fang is the famous Fang Xianfeng."
Pang Liu and the others glanced at each other, both in their expectations, but also unexpectedly, their contempt suddenly decreased, and they all asked, "How can you see it?"
"Although the marshal has always been benevolent and righteous, but this time the matter is very dangerous, and he actually agreed to the transaction, well, it is not so much a transaction, but rather a help", at this time, Liu Yun looked, a little bit of a villain, "Unless it is old, but, there is only General Liu over there, after all, they are all Sichuan villagers, and they can't write two Liu characters in one stroke."
"I see", Liu Pang and the others looked suddenly enlightened.
"Not only that, but the handsome man is not all nostalgic", the words are not shocking, Liu Yun continued to flicker, "I am still playing a big game of chess, if it weren't for the mention of the two uncles, the little nephew would not have had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized the mystery."
"Don't dare, don't dare", the two laughed a little reluctantly.
"If it weren't for the two uncles who sent someone to deliver the newspaper, the little nephew wouldn't have understood", Liu Yun looked grateful, "Helping General Liu is helping ourselves."
Liu Pang and the others smiled on the surface, and scolded in their hearts, you will die if you finish talking once.
"The one in Lushan, I want to engage 60 German mechanics to suppress bandits, and I only got a few, and I see that General Liu's side is about to be defeated", Liu Yun's voice changed, "If that side is defeated in a short time, what do you say 60 German mechanics will be used for."
"Eliminate the warlord", a spirit, Pang and Liu understand thoroughly, the handsome is the handsome, the vision is really far-sighted, the plan is really unfathomable, the two of them know that they are jealous, and they can't immediately understand the spiritual gist, they really live to the dog.
Liu Pang and the others showed a very satisfied look, looking like we are testing you, your answer is very standard, worthy of the rising star we fancy.
Liu Yuangeng asked very enthusiastically, "Virtuous nephew, do you know the first negotiation of armaments?"
"I don't know, please ask the fourth uncle for advice", although Liu Yun has been dominating that person's handwriting, he really doesn't know what it means, and fully carries forward the advantages of asking if he doesn't understand.
Pang Xuezhong explained on the side: "It is the abbreviation of the initial negotiation meeting on arms sales quotas in the Far East."
"Every December, a joint meeting on quotas for arms sales in the Far East is held in Shanghai, mainly with Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Japan, the United States, and China, and Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, and the Czech Republic and other Western countries attending as observers," Liu Yuangeng said with some mockery.
"It is said that it is to balance the military strength of the Far East and maintain peace in the Far East, but in fact it is an excuse for the Western powers to unify their voices and collectively restrict China's national defense construction.
"In the past 100 years in China, the reason why there has been local secession, warlord scuffle, and armament negotiation is one of the culprits", Pang Xuezhong felt a lot for a while, "During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the world was in chaos, and there were many Taiping troops, Hunan troops, Huai armies, and twisted armies, and they were fighting with each other endlessly, and weapons were in short supply."
"In order to ensure their commercial interests, Britain and France signed regional quota agreements with various powers, and they rationed as many arms as they needed according to the amount of silk tea and so on raised.
Liu Yuangeng took a sip of tea and smiled coldly, "With the sunset of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, of course the Manchu government wants to ban it, because the quota agreement has threatened their rule, but Britain and France have tasted the sweetness, so they used guns and cannons to do persuasion work and broke through Beiping for the first time."
"After that, Britain, France, and the United States, in order to prevent war and massacres, did not recognize the uniqueness and legitimacy of the Manchu government, and instead signed treaties with the representatives of the Chinese provinces one by one," Pang Xuezhong shook his head and sighed while beating his chest and telling one by one.
